Let's take a walk
04/25/2019


He tapped my shoulder
And got my attention
Daydreaming was I
Lost in my thoughts

You look troubled, said he
Life *****, doesn't it
From the moment
One is born,
Till the day
One dies
It's just
One issue after another

Let's take a walk, said he
So I got up
Dusted the sand off my ****
And we started strolling

You know
When I started this journey
I thought I knew it all
Seeded all the plants
Along with all the creatures
Frolicking, like innocent babes
Unfettered

Then something went wrong
I think it was the numbers game
It was easy to take care of a few
But now there are too many

Everybody looks to me
When they are troubled
Hoping that I'll wave a wand
And ****! It'll be all gone

They got what they wanted
Wanted to think for themselves
No longer be babied
No longer my involvement

But you know
I am cursed
I am all knowing
I know who's doing
What, where and when
From bacteria to gargantuan

I can't help one
Without the other getting *******
I am left with few options
Either, to let this ride
Or, or nothing

I know what's troubling you
But you no longer knock on my door
I also know, why not
So you see
Just like you
I am troubled too

Thanks for letting me talk
Thanks for taking this walk
